My 2005 highlander has cost me nothing but tires, fuel and batteries. Oh, and a serpentine belt. Very reliable and gas efficient and doubles as a bit of a truck as needed. I doubt I’ll do this well on my next vehicle.

I could do this, I was hoping to not run cables, but this is probably the better solution. Two WAP would probably work.

Hoping for a $500-ish solution…

At night, Kindle paper-white, one book at a time. Some nights i read for an hour, some just a few minutes. If it doesn’t hold my interest, I move on.

I can probably see a new computer by then… (my car hits 20 next year…) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Thank you. I’m retired, and unlikely to upgrade Office. Ver 2016 still does exactly what I need to do.

I’ll keep my router secured, my firewall updated as long as it will, and anti virus /malware up to date.

Serious question : My desktop is incompatible with Win11, I run Win10, and I use it for web browsing, Excel, and a little Word processing. Nothing else. Can’t i just continue on as is? Not a gamer, not a heavy user…

I was pleased to hear that Manhattan Transfer added lyrics to Weather Report’s Birdland. But I still prefer the original.

Pudding, with their fingers

Sequence is a favorite of mine.

Daughter was given a laptop at admission to the Air Force Academy in 1996, but I was envious… Didn’t get my first laptop until about three years later.

Had a '65 6-volt beauty (paid 500 in '77), and never even heard of slug-bug until years after I sold it in '88.

Well, one of Trumps many reckonings is proposed for the 8th, so I may be out buying liquor to celebrate.

IBC Black Cherry is awesome!

OP didn’t say “musical”…

For a bit of fun, find the YT of Sulek & Hauser “Welcome to the Jungle”

The technical name of the cello, yes, I think so…

Accordion is an unusual choice, but in Karla Bonoff’s “Water is Wide” the accordion is essential and beautiful. James Taylor sings back up.

Defenestration

Gets me every time I need it…

Same with honeydew. Once you have a perfect one, 90% are so disappointing. But that perfect one… Oh my!
